Contributing
editWith these references at hand, we hope you find it easier to contribute to Wikipedia. Here's a brief synopsis of some ways you can:
- We obviously wouldn't have an encyclopedia without articles. This page shows how you can help them grow.
- Removing vandalism and keeping the integrity of articles intact is a great way of contributing. More information on how to do so can be found here.
- Fixing typos, correcting poor grammar and repairing broken links are just some examples of useful, behind the scenes contributions. Even just making things look nice makes using Wikipedia more pleasant for everybody.
- If you like working with images, you might be interested in the Graphic Lab. Similarly, this page shows you how to work with images in Wikipedia articles.
- This page lists the many types of tasks you can do to maintain Wikipedia.
- There are numerous WikiProjects that aim to provide coordination and collaboration on particular subjects. From this list, you can join a project and contribute within an area that interests you.
Of course, there are many ways of contributing, but I hope that this message is helpful to you, and that you'll enjoy editing Wikipedia and continue to do so. You can respond to this message by clicking here if you have a comment or need help - don't forget to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), or you can place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and write your query there. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! WilliamH (talk) 19:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, if you have any questions by all means put them to me. WilliamH (talk) 20:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Molyneux
editIf you need help with William Molyneux, I have many real sources (i.e, non-encyclopedias) to fill in details. Just drop me a line if you find yourself stuck. Ottava Rima (talk) 12:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hello. I saw your comment on Bardcom's talk page. I discovered with great pleasure the WP article on William Molyneux. I found this Jstor Royal Society biographical sketch [1]. The sketch in particular mentions an article published in the Philisophical Transactions of the Royal Society which compares the weather in Dublin and Oxford. I don't know what the article says, but it might help in resolving the impasse on Thames frost fairs. There is a slight problem about using the term United Kingdom because it only came into existence in 1707; and Britain is a disambiguation page. I hope this helps. I have no views either way, but it is hard to find a geographical term which is not a disambiguation page. I'll try to dig out the reference, but, if it's between 1683 and 1686 as the article indicates, it might not be that easy. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 10:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- All of Phl. Trans. have been digitized on jstor, but it seems the article on the weather was just an apparently unrecorded paper read to the Royal Society. I did find an interesting article from 1684 by John Evelyn where he details the plants and trees lost as a result of the severe winter in England and "countries to the South". Mathsci (talk) 10:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- A little more investigation showed that Molyneux for 2 years or so from 1683-1685 sent his "weather diary" to William Musgrave, FRS, of New College, Oxford. He was using a grid designed in England and apparently one example of such a page is in the 3rd volume of Robert Gunther's "Early science in Oxford". Perhaps these diaries are kept in an archive of the college or a History of Science Museum in Oxford. Mathsci (talk) 14:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- Here is Plot's plot on jstor [2], a giant foldout from Vol 15 of Phil Trans (1685). The rest of the article contains the daily weather reports for each month of 1684. I now know why I live in the South of France. :-) Mathsci (talk) 13:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Arthritis
editConcerning your addition of William Musgrave to the "History" section in arthritis, could you clarify Musgrave's contribution to the understanding of arthritis? Just because he wrote a book about it doesn't mean it is notable... There is plenty of scope for more talk about Garrod, Landré-Beauvais, etc. JFW | T@lk 14:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message. One of the problems of arthritis is that it deals with a number of conditions that all cause inflammation (and often destruction) of the joints. It is therefore very hard to write a history of all of those at the same time. If Musgrave was notable for identifying Devon colic then surely his opinions on arthritis, even if now considered wrong, will have had some weight at the time. It would be immensely helpful to have a secondary source confirming this, but your contribution is appreciated.
- Have you a specific interest in medical history? I am strictly an amateur but always try to equip my articles with decent history sections, insofar as they are sourceable. JFW | T@lk 15:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

The Three-revert rule and the Shakespeare authorship question
editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Shakespeare authorship question. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.
I'll comment on the talk page. AndyJones (talk) 07:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, can you please stop clogging up the AE page with your complaints about a completely uninvolved administrator. My comment about "No one likes to issues blocks and bans" were referring to the regular admins on the Troubles articles, not any random admin that you happen to have an issue with. If you believe someone is acting problematically, the correct venue is WP:RFC. Thanks, Black Kite 14:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks (on Pytheas)
editI approve of the map. I was looking for pics but couldn't settle on any. I'm on this because people seemed to be having trouble with the scholarship involved and kept making generalities taken from generalities etc until it seemed anyone could say anything about Pytheas with equal certitide and some were beginning to portray him as mythological. I didn't expect to find this much. I'm finishing up on Britain and then will go on to Thule and the Baltic. But now that I've gotten into Strabo and the name of the British I see there are about 15 more articles still in crude shape. Anyway, when I've gotten to the point where Pytheas appears as a definitive person I will stop. The article will be longer, say 50 KB, but everyone seems interested in Pytheas and nothing it seems can be easily said. He is however in a good many articles. Thank you for your positive reaction, which encourages me to finish up the minimum. If you see any more pics we could probably use them. Best wishes.Dave (talk) 01:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
I took a good look at this source - unfortunately you could give us only one page so we don't really know what the author's theory was. In any case, all this is only theory. We don't know know if Ptolemy based his map on Pytheas; it is only a theory. Morover, Ptolemy is distorted in a lot of places that can have nothing to do with Pytheas, so accounting for the distortion in this way is one theory among many. This is one of the issues I want to present in a plodding, careful way, but I have not got to it yet. I did get to the perimeter or coastline theory. The basic problem is to account for Strabo's dissatisfaction. We KNOW Pytheas could take a precise latitude. Why then does Strabo give us figures that are wildly off? I was going to get to that below and still will. Meanwhile the only objection I have to your insertion is that you present it as fact and not theory. So I believe I will soften your language slightly for now until I can get to this (after the Baltic). It is a legitimate concern and one I hope address more clearly. Thanks.Dave (talk) 10:03, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Player of the month
editHi, when you update footballers' articles with them having won Premier League Player of the Month, please would you also add a source for them having done so. thanks, Struway2 (talk) 22:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- The relevant premier league site page is currently under construction. I intend to add the sources then. As you know Premier League Player of the Month is unsourced and untagged. A more consistent approcah would be to tag that site if you feel there is a problem migrating the information
- I have now tagged that list as unreferenced, thank you for suggesting that. Was unaware of its existence until checking it in vain for a source for the addition you made to Marcus Bent, who is on my watchlist. Are there no other sources listing this award? if not, the media certainly report it at the time. Though for the older awards, where media archives may no longer be available, perhaps it would be better waiting for the relevant page on the Premier League site to be constructed, rather than adding unsourced material to player articles. There's generally enough unsourced stuff on them as it is. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I saw your comment about the news on the Wikipedia front page. That is actually a very good point you make. It definitely weakens any argument that Wikipedia is not a news service. --Jameboy (talk) 01:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
3RR
editPlease see this complaint at WP:AN3 and consider undoing your last revert. You have made four reverts on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not in 24 hours, which violates WP:3RR. If you don't self-revert, it's possible you will be blocked. If you continue to make other edits while not undoing your revert, people will assume that you have refused and admins may take any appropriate action. EdJohnston (talk) 15:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I've reverted the change you made to this redirect. It makes very little sense to me why a redirect which states that WP is not a memorial would link to a page which explicitly states "this page is a memorial". What was the rationale for this?

Definition of Anti-Masonry
editThe definition that I reverted to in the Freemasonry article is accurate to my copy of the OED.
Perhaps the difference is that you are using the definition of "Anti-Mason" (a person) while I am using the definition of "Anti-Masonry" (a concept). I reverted because the article, is discussing the entire concept of Anti-Masorny, and is not limited to the individuals who might be Anti-Masons. Blueboar (talk) 15:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Paul Ferris.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Paul Ferris.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

What relevence has the results of a non notable club got to do with an article about a Dutch village. BigDuncTalk 17:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- To my mind the relevance is that a team so apallingly, apallingly bad, (they really are apallingly bad- but you only know that if you can see the table) claim to have adopted skirts for footballing reasons. Unfortunately there are no references at present to dispell their claims. The provision of information, ie the table, allows the reader to make up there own mind. Lucian Sunday (talk) 17:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- This is an article about the village not how bad the local team are and IMO doesn't warrent an entry into the article. BigDuncTalk 17:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes it is an article about the village. A notable aspect about the village is that one of the local teams wear skirts and are really, really crap at football. Lucian Sunday (talk) 17:46, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

editRegarding your comments on Talk:Rakt: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 11:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
The closing of the thread was not intended to ridicule you or to pretend that your complaint was not understood. It had become abundantly clear that that there was a consensus that you were the user who had acted in an uncivil manner, therefore your complaint was moot. If you insist on pursuing this matter, you could try another stage of dispute resolution such as WP:ANI, but my strong advice to you is to let it go. Take a break from the article that is upsetting you, or maybe even turn your computer off and go for a nice walk outdoors until you are not so upset about this anymore. (00:21, 1 May 2009 User:Beeblebrox)
I assume you are responding to the fact that you deleted the below comment (which I commenced in edit space prior to you premature closure).
- Presumably the ridicule is some indirect defence of mitigation. But, incomprehension, feigned or otherwise, that the templating was disingenuous does not alter the fact that Stifles action was failure to AFG; unjustified in light of his subsequent actions and exacerbated by his failure to acknowledge the same.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

editThanks for uploading File:Siegmund George Warburg 3.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:39, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Ellis Powell
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ellis Powell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Lard Almighty (talk) 11:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
